Episode 32 recap: Grandmother passed away.
Zhu Jiu sat alone at the entrance, watching the falling snow. She couldn't help but burst into tears, and Fu Yun Shen on the other side couldn't hold back his tears either. The two people who loved each other couldn't be together, and it was truly difficult for them. The doctor informed Zhu Jiu that her grandmother's condition was not optimistic. They had just found a liver donor, so her grandmother needed surgery as soon as possible.
At that moment, Jiang's mother called Zhu Jiu to ask if she had received the call. It suddenly dawned on Zhu Jiu that Jiang had orchestrated everything. Zhu Jiu saw Zhou Zhi Zhi pushing Fu Yun Shen towards her, and her tears started flowing again. Fu Yun Shen left coldly, and Zhu Jiu didn't try to stop him. She knew that breaking up with her was for her own good.
Zhu Jiu hurriedly went to tell her grandmother the good news. Her grandmother was now her only hope. Fu Xizhou deliberately had his secretary call Gu Ruan Ruan and tell her that he had a fever. Upon hearing the news, Gu Ruan Ruan became worried and hurried back. Before leaving, the secretary bought medicine for Fu Xizhou and cheered him on.
When Gu Ruan Ruan returned, she intentionally decorated the baby's crib. When Gu Ruan Ruan entered, Fu Xizhou pretended to be weak and frail. Seeing Gu Ruan Ruan about to leave, Fu Xizhou quickly stood up and held her. He explained that the reason he initially didn't want a child was because he grew up in a broken family. Fu Xizhou pleaded with Gu Ruan Ruan to give him another chance. He wanted to have a child with her. Finally, Gu Ruan Ruan softened and embraced Fu Xizhou.
Zhu Jiu was feeling down, and Ji Si Lang came to comfort her. Zhu Jiu mentioned that Jiang had found the liver donor for her grandmother, and she wanted her grandmother to survive so much that she had no choice but to accept it. Ji Si Lang told her a story, explaining that life presents many choices, and sometimes we are forced to make decisions we don't want to make. But even so, he hoped she could stay strong and move forward.
Chen Le brought food to Fu Yun Shen, but he still had a troubled expression. Chen Le knew that he had experienced a heartbreak and tried to comfort him. Chen Le even suggested that since they had found a liver donor, Fu Yun Shen could reconcile with Zhu Jiu. Chen Le said they could have the child first and figure things out later. Fu Yun Shen was speechless and asked Chen Le to leave, wanting to be alone.
While looking after her grandmother, Zhu Jiu intentionally mentioned that she wanted to eat the dumplings made by Fu Yun Shen. Zhu Jiu said she would tell him. Her grandmother had always thought that Fu Yun Shen was on a business trip, so she didn't inquire further. However, based on Zhu Jiu's condition, her grandmother suspected that there might be some conflict between Zhu Jiu and Fu Yun Shen.
Zhu Jiu went to see Fu Yun Shen, intending to ask him to visit her grandmother again. However, she learned that Fu Yun Shen had already been discharged from the hospital.
After returning home, Fu Yun Shen quickly immersed himself in work. He saw the messages Zhu Jiu had sent him, asking to meet up, but he didn't reply. Zhu Jiu called him, but Fu Yun Shen still didn't answer.
At that moment, Zhu Jiu was standing outside Fu Yun Shen's house. With Chen Le's persuasion, Fu Yun Shen went out to meet Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu told him that her grandmother would undergo surgery the next day and begged Fu Yun Shen to accompany her in taking her grandmother to the operating room. Fu Yun Shen wanted to refuse, but Zhu Jiu continued to plead with him, saying it was her grandmother's wish. However, Fu Yun Shen used his work as an excuse and left first.
That night, her grandmother sat alone in the corridor, feeling worried about the upcoming surgery. The next day, Zhu Jiu took her grandmother to the entrance of the operating room. Her grandmother appeared strong, but when the doors closed, Zhu Jiu couldn't help but cry. Fu Yun Shen was actually very concerned about her grandmother, but he didn't feel it was appropriate for him to see her at the moment.
The surgery took a long time, and both Zhu Jiu and her aunt were very worried. Ji Si Lang was by their side, providing constant support. Zhu Jiu's aunt blamed herself, thinking that if she had agreed earlier, her grandmother's surgery wouldn't have been delayed for so long. Finally, the surgery ended, but they couldn't save her grandmother. Zhu Jiu's aunt completely broke down emotionally, and Zhu Jiu burst into tears. Fu Yun Shen was actually nearby, listening to everything in the operating room, and he was devastated upon learning of her grandmother's passing.
He went to the morgue to see her grandmother, and Zhu Jiu happened to be there too. Zhu Jiu was in a daze, kneeling in front of her grandmother. Zhu Jiu returned home alone, reminiscing about the first time she came to this house. She remembered how her grandmother had always been by her side because she was afraid of the dark. The house was filled with memories of her and her grandmother.
Zhu Jiu cooked the dumplings her grandmother had prepared for her. Fu Yun Shen watched her from outside the door, deeply concerned about her as well.
